2011 Canadian Specimen 7-Coin Collector Set ft $1 Great Gray Owl Loonie Dollar

2011 Canadian Specimen 7-Coin Collector Set ft $1 Great Gray Owl Loonie Dollar

This year, the Royal Canadian Mint is proud to present the 2011 Specimen Set featuring the Great Gray Owl, one of the world’s largest owls . This bird can be found throughout Canada’s boreal forests from Quebec to Yukon. Like most owls, it is a talented hunter that relies on its exceptional hearing to find prey. It can hear small rodents 30 cm (1 ft) beneath the snow. When it swoops down to capture its prey, it is able to break through a crust of snow strong enough to support a human being!

Features

Aureate loonie dollar featuring the Great Gray Owl can only be found in this collector coin set.
